lOUSe and examine the piles of cake, and for this reason I can 
ell by the appearance of a cake whether it has been properly 
lipped. If it has not been properly nipped, oil has been left in 
t, to my loss. 
Mr. Justice Blackbukn : That, again, is not at all an answer 
o the question. 
Mr. Seymour : If in the course of your examination of the 
•ake you find anything to object to in its form or character, or 
itherwise, are you able to trace the hands through which it went 
n process of manufacture ? — A. I can trace the maker of that 
•ake — the press-man who makes that cake. 
Q. And have you ever sold a ton of cake as to which you can- 
lot trace both the cake itself, its composition, and the man who 
,)ressed it, by your books and the mark of the cake itself? — A. 
They are all in my books. 
Q. Do you use any cotton-cake in the manufacture of this 
ioseed ? — A, Never. Might I give a reason ? 
Mr. Justice Blackbuen : The fact is what we want ; attend 
0 the material questions which are asked, and answer them. 
Mr. Seymour : First, you say " never " ? — A. Not as adul- 
eration — never. 
Mr. Field : Not as adulteration ? — A. I have sold cotton-cake 
ind pressed cotton-cake. 
!. Mr. Seymour : But I ask you whether you have ever used 
btton-cake as an ingredient, or mixed it in making your linseed- 
:ake? — A. Never. 
Q. Suppose you did, what would be the effect ? — A. I should 
uin the oil — any one knows that. 
Q. You would ruin the quality of the linseed oil ? — A. Directly, 
Q. And the oil being more valuable, you would sacrifice the 
Teater for the less? — A. That (producing a bottle) is the 
olour of cotton oil. That (producing another) is the colour of 
inseed oil. The consequence of putting even a few drops of 
he one into the other would be to ruin it, and I should have 21. 
•r 3/. a ton less for my linseed oil. 
Q. Then is it of vital consequence to prevent such a thing, 
ven by matter of accident? — A. Why, of course it is. 
Q. Have you ever had either cocoa-nut or cocoa-nut fibre in 
our mill at any time to your knowledge ? — A. I never heard of 
t. I learned more how cakes were made yesterday than ever I 
:new in my life. 
Q. Then you say you do not know anything about such stuff? 
—A. I do not know it. I don't know what it is. 
Q. What does the cake cost you per ton — this "Triangle 
5est " ? — A. Out of my mill, delivered to Messrs. Ayre, Brothers' 
roUeys or boat, that cake cost me 9Z. 55. per ton.
